Fig. 1 is the flow chart of the flow table amending method according to the embodiment of the present invention one.As shown in figure 1, the flow table amending method mainly includes:
Step S110, interchanger receive the renewal flow table list item message that controller is sent, and the renewal flow table list item message includes flow table mark, action type, target information to be modified and new matching domain field.
Specifically, if interchanger receives the renewal flow table list item message of controller transmission, interchanger can put in a good word for the flow table that target information to be modified is specified and be handled accordingly.Update flow table list item message except being identified including flow table, target information to be modified and new matching domain field, should also include action type.Action type is except that including deleting and increasing, can also include book modification.Interchanger can identify the flow table for determining to need to change according to flow table, further determined to need the flow table item of modification in the flow table that the needs are changed according to target information to be modified, the flow table item for needing modification is the flow table item matched with target information to be modified, and the matching domain field in the flow table item changed will be needed to be revised as new matching domain field.
Step S130, the interchanger search whether there is the flow table item matched with the target information to be modified in the flow table corresponding with flow table mark.
Specifically, interchanger can identify the flow table for determining to need to change, and search whether the flow table item that flow table item is matched with target message to be modified in the flow table that the needs are changed after controller receives renewal flow table list item message according to flow table.Target information to be modified can be flow table relating value, or old matching domain field.
In the case where target information to be modified is flow table relating value, interchanger searches whether there is the flow table item matched with target information to be modified, can included in the flow table corresponding with above-mentioned flow table mark:Interchanger in the flow table, judge current lookup to flow table item in flow table relating value of the flow table relating value with receiving whether match;If current lookup to flow table item in flow table relating value match with the flow table relating value that receives, by current lookup to flow table item be defined as the flow table item of matching.
Specifically, the target information to be modified updated in flow table list item message can be flow table relating value, but interchanger is storage flow table relating value, update outside the processing of flow table list item message not to flow table Relating value carries out other processing.Interchanger is received from controller after flow table relating value, whether the flow table relating value that can be searched in the flow table item of itself storage matches with the flow table relating value currently received from controller, if the flow table relating value that interchanger is found in the flow table item of itself storage matches with the current flow table relating value received from controller, then interchanger can determine current lookup to itself storage flow table item in flow table relating value the match is successful with the current flow table relating value received from controller, interchanger can determine the flow table item that the flow table item that current lookup is arrived is matching.
In the case where target information to be modified says domain field for old matching, interchanger searches whether there is the flow table item matched with target information to be modified in the flow table corresponding with above-mentioned flow table mark, including:Interchanger in the flow table, judge current lookup to flow table book in matching domain field whether matched with the old matching domain field;If current lookup to flow table item in matching domain field match with the old matching domain field, by current lookup to flow table item be defined as matching flow table item.
Specifically, interchanger can search the flow table item for needing to change according to old matching domain field.Interchanger is received from controller after old matching domain field, whether the matching domain field that interchanger can be searched in the flow table item itself stored in the flow table corresponding with above-mentioned flow table mark matches with the old matching domain field, if the matching domain field that interchanger is found in the flow table item of itself storage matches with the old matching domain field, then interchanger can determine current lookup to itself storage flow table item in matching domain field and old matching domain fields match success, interchanger can determine the flow table item of flow table item that current lookup arrives for matching.
Step S150, in the case where there is the flow table item that is matched with the target information to be modified, the matching domain field of the flow table item of the matching is revised as the new matching domain field by the interchanger.
Specifically, after interchanger determines the flow table item of matching, it is possible to be revised as the matching domain field in the flow table item of matching to come into force immediately after the new matching domain field, flow table item self-modifying.
In contrast to existing flow table amending method, if modification N bar flow table items, interchanger needs to receive 2N bars renewal flow table list item message from controller, and the complete matching field of every renewal flow table list item message carrying or action field, information redundancy is high, and efficiency is low, and interface load is overweight.And the embodiment of the present invention Flow table amending method, if modification N bar flow table items, the renewal flow table list item message at most N bars that interchanger is received from controller and alleviate interface load at efficiency high.In addition, the flow table amending method of the embodiment of the present invention, the mark only pair flow table item matched with target information to be modified is modified, information redundancy is low.
In a kind of possible implementation, in the case of in the absence of the flow table item matched with the target information to be modified, the interchanger sends mistake to the controller and indicated, the mistake indicates to be used to notify the controller flow table modification failure.
Specifically, if the flow table item matched with modification target message is not present in the flow table item that interchanger finds itself storage, interchanger can send mistake to controller and indicate.Mistake indicate can notification controller flow table modification failure not notification controller flow table book modification failure concrete reason, mistake is indicated can also the not only notification controller flow table modification failure concrete reason that the modification of notification controller flow table fails again.
The flow table amending method of the present embodiment, interchanger is by receiving the renewal flow table list item message that controller is sent, the flow table item matched with target information to be modified is searched in the flow table corresponding with flow table mark, and the matching domain field of the flow table item of matching is revised as new matching domain field, change the efficiency high of flow table and alleviate interface load.In addition, the mark only pair flow table item matched with target information to be modified is modified, the information redundancy for changing flow table is low.
